With colder months ahead, cozying up indoors feels natural. But did you know too much time inside can affect your sleep, mood, and even your immune system? Here’s what science says about the good, the bad, and how to keep a healthy balance.

We often blame ourselves for being “lazy.” But science shows that overwhelm and overstimulation are usually to blame. Learn why your brain shuts down under mental fatigue — and how gentle resets can help you restore energy, focus, and self-compassion.

Reading isn’t just a pastime—it’s a cozy ritual that supports relaxation, empathy, sleep, and mental sharpness. Backed by research, reading proves to be one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to slow down and nurture well-being.
